Rear Tyre Options

So I bought a new rear tyre for my Ty 250 mono that I'm restoring and bought a tubeless Dunlop. When I took the old tyre off I spotted that it was tube tyre with a tube fitted. So I was wondering...

1) Could I fit a tubeless tyre without a tube?

2) Can I fit a tubeless tyre with a tube inside?

3) How important is the internal rim tape when a tube is installed? The current one looks original!

4) Is an internal rim tape for a tube tyre different to a tubeless?

It was also the first time I'd removed a rear tyre. Talk about something putting up a fight!

1) No

2) Yes (but you might need 2 rim locks)

3) keep in place to protect the tube from the spokes

4) No

wait till you put it back on

Tip use baby powder on the tube and a little bit of pressure in the tube when you insert it and careful as you lever the Tyre back on, small bites at a time

Good luck

1) No

2) Yes although some tubeless type tyres won't stay fully seated at low pressures on tube type rims

3) Duct tape can be used if needed in a hurry

4) Tubeless rim tapes are 3 or 4 times thicker & wider
